Hi,
I tried to install a SNAP which I built early this morning
and ran into some trouble (4.0-19991220-SNAP).
After running through sysinstall and configuring everything,
the following message pops up:
Unable to make device node for /dev/ad0s1b in /dev!
The creation of filesystems will be aborted.
If I flip to the debug screen, the following is present:
MakeDev: Unable to lookup user "root".
If I take a look at /snap/release/usr/src/lib/libdisk/create_chunk.c
at line 336, the following code fragment is failing:
if ((pwd = getpwnam("root")) == NULL) {
msgDebug("MakeDev: Unable to lookup user \"root\".\n");
return 0;
}
Before I start debugging the boot floppy (actually I use the
2.88 image burned onto a CD) code, has anyone else run into this
yet, and/or is a fix being looked at?
Thanks!
John
